    Question for Hisa San

    What does Gaijin translate into? I know it is used to describe foreigners in wrestling, but I have a friend who is obsessed with Japanese culture and he says that he cant translate it directly but it is "not a very nice thing to be called"


    Thanks

    gaijin = foreigner

    It's not a bad word but is sometimes used to discriminate against the foreigners. I guess that's mainly because Japan doesn't have the diversity the US have.
